Or maybe not...

My Corsa is in the Vauxhall garage at the moment getting a new clutch and thrust bearing fitted as it went on me late Sunday night and had a nightmare time of waiting for the AA to get me there!

Once this is sorted, I'm not sure whether to sell up and go for something different as I'm getting completely bollocked off with it or whether to keep it and do something special to it!

I'm planning on getting a brand new c20xe redtop engine from Vauxhall (suprised how inexpensive it was) and also a brand new F20 gearbox and then going from there. I want some reliability and smoothness from now on aswell as power!

I didn't know that engine was still in production! Mind you the engine (less alternator) is listed in EPC as a part so I guess it is!

Presumably it won't have a CosCast head though? Or will it?
